I have always been lucky in life and getting Julia for a mother-in-law is a perfect example. From the first time I met her, Julia welcomed into the family. She always treated me with love and respect but the greatest gift she ever gave me was a wonderful husband. She raised Michael to be a strong, compassionate man that honors and supports me in small ways every day. I would not be able to be the person that I am today without him. I will forever be thankful for this gift. I love you Julia and will always miss your smile and laughter. You set an excellent example by living your life well and enjoying every minute you were given. You spread joy and happiness to all those around you. You truly were a strong and courageous woman and I'm proud to have known you.

Julia was an amazing, generous, witty and strong woman and an inspiration to everyone that met her. She always had a smile on her face and never complained, regardless of what she was going through. God blessed her with a wonderful family and a loving and nurturing husband. She was the light of our breast cancer support group and her courage has encouraged many to fight the fight. We are sad to lose her, but what an angel heaven has received! I love and miss you Julia.
